Be it known that we, FREDERICK MACKLIN WILLSON, president of the Gardner Sewing- Machine Company, and WILLIAM VASSIE, mechanical superindendent of the said company, both of the city of Hamilton, in the county of Wentworth, inv the Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, have jointly invented a new and useful Lamp-Hold-- ing Attachment for Sewing-Machines; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same.
